I still hate Air. Here's why:
Of all the companies, do we really want Adobe to be the gate keeper of yet another format? Isn't PDF and Flash enough?
Air encourages bad User Interfaces. One UI across multiple platforms leads to horrible, non-standard interfaces on all platforms.
- satyajit 18y agoYet another format? They are just churning out yet another app on the same flash format, that's been installed on almost over 98% of desktops all over the world! So what's wrong? And if you have used some specific apps like eBay Desktop on Air, it rocks, esp if you are a power eBay user. Air is a good thing, I just hope that they learn from their PDF/Acrobat mistakes and do not let Air/Flash go down that path!
- pclark 18y agoerm, Air apps require Adobe Air -- not Adobe Flash.
- dantheman 18y agoerm, Air apps are basically flash apps with a slightly more powerful api and framework to run them offline.
- satyajit 18y agoYea, I think Air definitely brings a value addition on an already existing web platform. To use the APIs, and create an app that can work with your site in an online/offline mode, and still present a compelling interface, there isn't a whole lot of choice I see...
